[01] Venizelos at the EU General Affairs Council
ANA-MPA/ Government Vice President and Foreign Minister Evangelos
Venizelos, upon arrival at the EU General Affairs Council in Brussels,
said:"This is the first General Affairs Council under the Greek
Presidency. It is a great opportunity for us to present not only the
priorities of the Greek Presidency but also our first efforts and steps
towards the implementation of the priorities.
The second item is a first approach of deliberation on the next European
Council, the Spring European Council, on economy, growth, job creation,
industrial competitiveness.
Another point is the preparation of the EU-Africa Summit. This is a very
challenging priority for the European Union.
And the most critical point of this session is the discussion on the
genetically modified maize. This is a very critical item not only for
environmental issues but also for institutional issues because we must
implement the treaty and also clarify the field of responsibilities in
the Council and the European Commission."
